Still 'no demand' for media-player-free Windows
A major U.K. retail store and three of the largest PC vendors worldwide still have no plans to sell the version of Microsoft Windows that does not contain its media player, five months after the version was released.
Microsoft started offering Windows XP N, a version of Windows without a bundled media player, in June of this year to comply with last year's antitrust ruling by the European Commission.

04.04.2006Media player users beware: move vulns ahead
Security researchers are warning that popular media players offered by Microsoft and AOL are vulnerable to attacks that can completely compromise a
user's PC.
Attack code has already been released for the bug, which has been confirmed in a codec used by older versions of
Windows Media Player, made by Microsoft, and in AOL's Winamp. A Symantec researcher has warned that users of other players may also be at risk
because the vulnerability itself resides in a commonly used MP4 codec produced by a company called 3ivx Technologies.
"The
exploit works by supplying victims with a maliciously formed MP4 file," Raymond Ball wrote for Symantec's
DeepSight Threat Management System. "When a victim unknowingly clicks a link
that appears safe, the MP4 content is delivered, causing the exploit to run."
